DOJ Investigates Protesters Who Stormed Church of ICE Agent

The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into a protest group in Minnesota. The group is accused of disrupting a religious service at a church where a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official works as a pastor. Federal authorities confirmed the probe after the incident. The protesters targeted the church because of the pastor's connection to ICE, the agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws. The investigation will examine whether the protesters' actions violated federal laws. The Justice Department did not specify which statutes are being considered. The church service was reportedly interrupted by the demonstration. The ICE official involved serves as a pastor in a personal capacity, not as part of his government role. No arrests have been announced. The investigation is ongoing.
